Please guys those who have updated the phone... Share some of your thoughts about the new update... Increase the excitement for rest of us who is waiting for it

Here are my initial thoughts:
1) The update is very much smoother than the previous MM versions, very noticeable in the multitasking pane
2) The Nougat notifications looks bomb on the Xperia skin, they are much faster to interact with, quick reply works great & notification handling is quite improved.
3) The Quick settings pane are not exactly like the Pixel one, they take a little more space on the screen (just a little), the drop down arrow on the un-collapsed QS takes 1 QS Space on the right, would have preferred it to be a little small so that they could squeeze another QS Tile there.
4) The messaging app has some new neat features, nothing much drastic though (who uses normal messages these days anyways)
5) Split Screen works great & is a welcoming change
6) Battery life - Can't comment, needs a little more time to judge, but the track record for my XZ is already great, so not expecting big changes in battery life.
7) Now, the Camera, it's supposed to bring certain new Manual control options, but I didn't had a chance to dig into em. Will let you know when I start playing around the camera myself

Overall, the device runs faster, smoother & feels a little light, not too much of stuff going on, just exactly what you need & where you need em.
It is a great update & a very quick update too.
